Description: For nearly seventy years, The Kenyon Review has been the world's best known and most honored literary magazine in the English-speaking world. The Kenyon Review's editorial focus is to identify exceptionally talented emerging writers, especially from diverse communities, and publish their work (fiction, poetry, essays, interviews, reviews, etc.) alongside the many distinguished, established writers featured in its pages. KR was founded in 1939 by poet-critic John Crowe Ransom. During his 21-year tenure, Ransom published such internationally known writers as Robert Penn Warren and Delmore Schwartz, as well as younger writers-Flannery O'Connor, Robert Lowell, and Peter Taylor, to name a few. Recent years have seen new work by established authors E. L. Doctorow, Louise Erdrich, Seamus Heaney, and A.S. Byatt, as well as new voices-such as, Meghan O'Rourke, Roy Kesey, Kellie Wells, and Ron Rash-featured in KR.

The "moving wall" represents the time period between the last issue
available in JSTOR and the most recently published issue of a journal.
Moving walls are generally represented in years. In rare instances, a
publisher has elected to have a "zero" moving wall, so their current
issues are available in JSTOR shortly after publication.
Note: In calculating the moving wall, the current year is not counted.
For example, if the current year is 2008 and a journal has a 5 year
moving wall, articles from the year 2002 are available.

Terms Related to the Moving Wall

Fixed walls: Journals with no new volumes being added to the archive.

Absorbed: Journals that are combined with another title.
